Myrna Rollins Heninger February 19, 1934 - March 20, 2019 Myrna Rollins Heninger, beloved wife, mother and grandmother was called home to our Heavenly Father on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon from abrupt internal bleeding. She was surrounded by family members at the time of her passing. Myrna was born in Cowley, WY to Charles Wallace and Grace Rollins. She was the first of four children. She attended Davis High School where she met the love-of-her-life, the late Gary Golden Heninger and were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. Myrna became an accomplished singer, starring in many operettas. Myrna attended BYU where she earned a bachelor’s degree in education. They eventually moved to Kansas City, Missouri where Gary attended dental school while Myrna supported the young family as a teacher. Upon Gary’s graduation, they made their way back to Utah to start his practice. The family continued to grow in size, welcoming four wonderful boys and two sweet girls to the light of the gospel. She faithfully filled many callings in the ward, stake and at the temple. For those who knew Myrna, the simple things of life gave her the greatest joy. She loved going to breakfast with her sons, watching movies with her daughters and talking politics. She was an good listener. She had a knack for giving the reaction you would expect when listening to a friend. McDonalds was one of her favorite treats including a not-so-occasional Diet Coke. Myrna was loving and unpretentious. She was quick to laugh (often at herself) and absolutely loved vacations with her family. She loved her 31 grandchildren and she was so proud of her 27 great-grandchildren who affectionately call her “GiGiMa” (Gorgeous Grandma). A celebration of Myrna’s life will be held Monday, March 25th at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel located at 6869 Vista Springs Drive, Herriman, Utah at 11:00 am. Viewings will be held at the same location Sunday, March 24th from 6:00-8:00 pm and at 9:30 on Monday.
